Mentoring lets individual employees access a mentor’s experience and expertise in one-to-one conversations. The mentee then applies these insights to fuel their own professional and personal development.
This course outlines the key features of mentoring, contrasting it with coaching, as the two terms are often used interchangeably. It will help you identify potential mentees – and mentors – and set up more effective mentoring partnerships.
The course is assessed on a complete/incomplete basis. Learners are asked questions throughout the course to strengthen learning.

Included Features
Mentoring can be a very positive experience for the employee being mentored and the mentor themselves. By passing on their greater experience, mentors play a crucial role in accelerating the development of the mentee and keep valuable knowledge circulating.
There are many skills that can contribute to a successful mentor/mentee relationship. Training gives a clearer picture of what these are and how they help.
The terms “mentoring” and “coaching” are often used interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. Mentoring is essentially non-directive, focusing on the mentee’s overall professional development. Coaching tends to be a more hands-on relationship, focusing on specific outcomes and measurable improvement.
A good mentor will be experienced in their area of expertise, so they have valuable skills and information to pass on. The skills that make them most likely to be good mentors include being good communicators, the ability to give valuable feedback and flexibility, as the mentor/mentee relationships develops over time.
Effective mentoring can result in a mutually beneficial working relationship between more experienced and less experienced colleagues. It ensures valuable experience is passed on and made use of by people newer to the industry and company. An effective mentor can make a big difference to a mentee’s career trajectory.
